Abstract:

Objective To develop the Chinese version of PEmb-QoL questionnaire and examine its reliability and validity. Methods According to the Brislin’s translation model,we followed the forward-translation and back-translation procedure to translate the PEmb-QoL questionnaire into Chinese language. The Chinese version was revised through experts’ review and a pilot study. The content validity of the questionnaire was evaluated by experts. Reliability and validity of the questionnaire were achieved through investigation among 201 patients with pulmonary embolism hospitalized and discharged in respiratory departments. Results The test-retest reliability of the questionnaire was 0.83. The Cronbach’s α was 0.85;the universal agreement scale-level content validity index was 0.94;the average scale-level content validity index was 0.96. 5 factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis,which contributed to 76.65% of the variance. Conclusion The Chinese version of PEmb-QoL Questionnaire was proved to be a good instrument with acceptable reliability and validity,and it is qualified to assess quality of life among Chinese patients with pulmonary embolism.
